Belinelli a better defender, although Fernandez is playing better in a better league.
In their biggest games at the Worlds last summer, both played well against top competition. Belinelli played better. Belinelli scored 25 against Team USA--the most by any opponent; while Fernandez scored 18 vs. Serbia. Belinelli also scored 26 vs. Slovenia with five NBA players on their roster.
